| + | **Quick answer.** **Awaas+ 2024-25** (also referred to as **PM Awas Plus**) is the fresh exclusion-survey by the **Ministry of Rural Development (MoRD)** to enroll **kachcha-house-dwelling rural families** who were **left out of the SECC 2011-based PMAY-G beneficiary list**. The survey opened on **15 January 2025** and is being run through the **AwaasPlus 2024 mobile app** (Android, free on Play Store) for **self-survey by households** as well as enumerator-driven survey by Panchayat staff. Eligible families enrolled via Awaas+ 2024 will receive **₹1.20 lakh assistance** (plain areas) or **₹1.30 lakh** (hilly states / North East / IAP districts) under **PMAY-G**, released in **3-4 installments** through DBT to the Aadhaar-linked bank account, plus **convergence with MGNREGA** for 90/95 days of unskilled labour wages and toilet under SBM-G ₹12,000. Track on **pmayg.nic.in**. The Cabinet (11 Aug 2024) approved 2 crore additional houses under PMAY-G for FY 2024-25 to FY 2028-29 with a total outlay of ₹3.06 lakh crore — Awaas+ 2024 is the data feeder for this expansion.

| + | |||
| + | ===== What this is — and who is eligible ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | **Pradhan Mantri Awaas Yojana — Gramin (PMAY-G)** is the rural component of PMAY (the urban component is **PMAY-U / PMAY-U 2.0**, see [[: | ||
| + | |||
| + | **Awaas+ 2024-25** is the **exclusion-survey instrument** that allows fresh enrollment of households who were not captured in the original SECC 2011 (Socio-Economic and Caste Census 2011) Permanent Wait List. It runs through the **AwaasPlus 2024 mobile app** with two modes: **household self-survey** (any family member with the app and a smartphone can register) and **enumerator-driven survey** by panchayat staff. | ||
| + | |||
| + | To be eligible under PMAY-G: | ||
| + | |||
| + | * Family living in a **kachcha house** (zero-room, one-room or two-room with kachcha walls **and** kachcha roof) in a **rural area**. | ||
| + | * Annual household income **up to ₹15,000 per month** (revised in Aug 2024 — earlier ₹10,000). | ||
| + | * Family does not own any motorised two/ | ||
| + | * Family does not own a refrigerator or landline phone (relaxed in Aug 2024). | ||
| + | * No member is a Government employee earning more than ₹15, | ||
| + | * Family does not pay income tax / professional tax. | ||
| + | * Family does not own land of 2.5 acres irrigated or 5 acres unirrigated (relaxed in Aug 2024). | ||
| + | * Aadhaar of head of family + at least one bank account in head's name. | ||
| + | * Not a beneficiary of any other Government housing scheme (PMAY-U, state housing schemes). | ||
| + | |||
| + | The **exclusion criteria were significantly relaxed in August 2024** — the Cabinet allowed families with **a two-wheeler or a small fishing boat or a small electric appliance** to remain eligible, recognising the changed rural reality. Source: [[https:// | ||

| + | ===== How to apply for PM Awas Plus online — step by step ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | This section walks you through the complete online application process using the AwaasPlus 2024 mobile app. The entire process is **free of cost** — never pay anyone for enrollment. For related government application guides, see [[: | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Step 1 — Check if your family is already in the existing PMAY-G list ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | * Go to **https:// | ||
| + | * If you are already in the list (sanctioned or unsanctioned), | ||
| + | * If not in the list, proceed to Step 2. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Step 2 — Download the AwaasPlus 2024 mobile app ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | * Open Google Play Store → search " | ||
| + | * Install and open. Permissions required: **camera, location, storage** (for geo-tagging the house photo). | ||
| + | * Login as **" | ||
| + | * The app works in offline mode also — you can capture data and sync when connectivity returns. | ||
| + | |||
| + | If you don't have a smartphone, the **panchayat sevak** in your village has a tablet with the same app and is doing enumerator-driven surveys — request them to register your family. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Step 3 — Complete the household self-survey ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | The app collects: | ||
| + | |||
| + | * **Personal: | ||
| + | * **House details:** number of rooms, wall material, roof material, floor type, condition. | ||
| + | * **Toilet status:** whether household has a functional toilet (links to SBM-G data). | ||
| + | * **Income:** monthly household income. | ||
| + | * **Assets:** two-wheeler, | ||
| + | * **Land holding:** dryland / wetland in acres. | ||
| + | * **Bank account:** Aadhaar-seeded account for DBT. | ||
| + | * **House photo:** 4-side geo-tagged photographs of the existing kachcha house. | ||
| + | * **Family photo:** all members with the head of family. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Submit. Application number is generated; SMS confirmation sent. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Step 4 — Three-tier verification: | ||
| + | |||
| + | * **Tier 1 (Panchayat): | ||
| + | * **Tier 2 (Block — BDO):** the **Block Development Officer** scrutinises the panchayat-endorsed list, runs duplicate / exclusion checks against AwaasSoft MIS. | ||
| + | * **Tier 3 (District — DRDA):** the **District Rural Development Agency**, headed by the **Project Director (DRDA)**, finalises the list and ratifies the **Gram Sabha resolution**. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Step 5 — Gram Sabha approval and provisional priority list ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | * The eligible list is read out at the **Gram Sabha** for objections, complaints, and final approval. | ||
| + | * The sequence on the priority list is decided by **automated scoring** (kachcha house category, vulnerability indicators, SC/ | ||
| + | * Once Gram Sabha resolves, the **Permanent Wait List (PWL)** for your panchayat is updated on AwaasSoft. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Step 6 — Sanction order and four-installment release ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | Once your name moves up the PWL and a fund tranche reaches your block: | ||
| + | |||
| + | * **Sanction order** is uploaded on AwaasSoft and SMS sent. | ||
| + | * **Installment 1: ₹30,000** (25%) — at sanction / foundation stage. | ||
| + | * **Installment 2: ₹45,000** (37.5%) — at lintel level (verified via geo-tagged photo upload by panchayat). | ||
| + | * **Installment 3: ₹30,000** (25%) — at roof-cast stage. | ||
| + | * **Installment 4: ₹15,000** (12.5%) — at completion + toilet construction confirmed. | ||
| + | |||
| + | For **hilly states, North East, J&K, Ladakh, and IAP districts**, | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Step 7 — MGNREGA convergence + SBM-G toilet ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | * The **MGNREGA convergence** automatically allocates **90 days of unskilled wage labour** (95 days in hilly areas) to the head of family for working on the construction of their own house — paid as MGNREGA wages at the prevailing state rate. | ||
| + | * **Swachh Bharat Mission - Gramin (SBM-G)** provides **₹12, | ||
| + | * **PMAY-G + MGNREGA wages + SBM-G toilet** together typically cover **₹1.55 lakh - ₹1.65 lakh** of construction cost. Beneficiary contribution (cash or kind) usually closes the gap. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Step 8 — Geo-tag completion + Awaas Soft MIS update ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | After completion, the panchayat takes a final geo-tagged photo of the completed house and uploads it. Your record on AwaasSoft is marked **" | ||

| + | **RTI helps here when:** | ||

| + | * Your sanction is shown on AwaasSoft but installments have not credited — RTI to **PIO, DRDA / Project Director, [your district]** asking for the fund release register and DBT statement against your sanction. | ||
| + | * Photo at lintel / roof stage was uploaded by you / your panchayat sevak but the next installment is stuck — RTI to PIO BDO for the AwaasSoft transaction history of your application. | ||

| + | |||
| + | **RTI does NOT help here when:** | ||
| + | |||
| + | * Your house is genuinely pucca by scheme definition — RTI cannot redefine eligibility. | ||
| + | * You want to pre-jump the wait-list ahead of more vulnerable families — the priority is determined by an automated, weighted score. | ||
| + | * You want a higher assistance amount than the scheme prescribes — assistance ceilings are policy decisions. | ||
| + | * You want a personal opinion on what house design to adopt — RTI gives existing records, not architectural advice. | ||
| + | * For state housing schemes (Indira Gandhi Awas Yojana, Mukhya Mantri Awas Yojana variants) — those are governed by separate state rules; RTI to the State Rural Development Department, not MoRD. | ||

| + | * **House photo not geo-tagged** — the verifier' | ||
| + | * **Multiple Aadhaars / family declarations** — duplicate detection rejects. Make sure only one family-head declaration exists per household. | ||
| + | * **Existing pucca house in family** (even one inherited from in-laws) — disqualification. Complex cases of joint family / partition are common stuck points. See [[: | ||
| + | * **Income certificate showing > ₹15, | ||
| + | * **SECC 2011 list mismatch** — name in SECC under different spelling. The Awaas+ MIS attempts auto-merge but sometimes flags a duplicate. | ||
| + | * **Land ownership unclear** — land for construction must be in the head's or family' | ||
| + | * **Block fund tranche not released** — even after sanction, money waits at the block treasury. Common at end of fiscal year (March-April). | ||

| + | |||
| + | **Q1. I am a tenant on others' | ||

| + | **Q2. The panchayat sevak is asking for ₹2,000 to " | ||
| + | **No.** All Awaas+ services are free. Refuse, demand a written receipt, complain in writing to the BDO. File an anti-corruption complaint to the State Lokayukta and on [[https:// | ||
| + | |||
| + | **Q3. I already have a 1-room kachcha house — am I eligible? | ||
| + | Yes — PMAY-G is meant precisely for households with houseless / 0-room / 1-room / 2-room kachcha houses (kachcha walls **and** roof). Photo evidence captured during Awaas+ survey is the proof. | ||

| + | **Q4. My husband and I both have separate Aadhaar-linked bank accounts. Whose account should the DBT come to?**\\ | ||
| + | The **head of family** (as declared in the application) is the DBT recipient. You can change the head with a fresh declaration at the panchayat — but only one head is accepted. | ||
